We were lucky enough to get a first look at the new Hyundai i30N, before it's official debut in Australia in early 2018.

We have an in depth review coming up soon (keep an eye out on Caradvice.com), but people seemed quite keen to get an early look at one of the coolest small cars to come onto the market so we whipped together this short clip.

We take you for a brief walk around, give it a start up and rev, give a run down of the infotainment system, and we were even able to sneakily grab some track time in this impressive hot hatch.

While we can't discuss specifics of our experience just yet, all in all, I have to say this car was certainly a change from any Hyundai I have ever driven.
